Ram Trucks Power Wagon W100
The original WW2-derived Power Wagon was the first mass-produced 4×4 civilian truck — a direct adaptation of the military WC Series "Weapons Carrier." Its 94-hp flathead six, front-mounted winch, and mechanical simplicity made it unstoppable off-road and near-indestructible in service.
